Sweets for my Sweet - C J Lewis

Punch & Judy - Marillion

Even with the shipping and taxes, the newer one is still one of the cheapest, ‘name brand’, short scale, P basses available. If the nut width was wider, I’d be having a long hard think about a black one.

Village Green Preservation Society - The Kinks

He had one job

Probably a good decision. Having to learn all the material, combined with rehearsals, when your heart isn’t completely in it, would probably just piss you off and lead to you jacking it in. Being of a similar vintage, one’s time is better spent doing things that bring you joy.

Enter Sandman - Metallica

Centrefold - J Geils Band

AB sounds pretty good on everything he does. My band have decided to do Watching the Detectives, which Andrew played on. The Rumour were a great backing band.

It’s a classic combination

With the seating looking very pew like, I would have been hard pushed not to say, “Dearly beloved, let us play,” in that environment. Nice venue.

Good question. I’ll just address the music side, as no one has ever wanted to see me indulge in sporting activities, let alone pay to do so. I think it depends on how you view it. Are you playing gigs to provide a service or just to have fun? If you can have fun, whilst providing a service doesn’t negate it being a service. I used to enjoy and have fun in my day jobs, but I definitely wanted paying. So I think it comes down to would you do it anyway if there was no renumeration involved? In my current band, the answer is no (charity gigs notwithstanding), as I’m not playing the music I would normally choose to, I don’t mind it, but it’s not my chosen genre. If my band was, for want of a better word, a vanity project, I might play for free, certainly expenses. The problem lies when those who are happy to play for free take work away from those who provide a service and want paying.
